The appearance of your smile plays a big role in how people perceive you. A bright white smile helps you to portray youth, vitality, and health. Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental process that will remove discolouration and stains to lighten and brighten the teeth. At Harvest Hills Dental Care, we offer professional at-home teeth whitening so our patients in East Gwillimbury and Newmarket can experience the benefits of a vibrant, white smile.
When it comes to choosing which method of at-home teeth whitening to use, the sheer volume of choices can be overwhelming
Teeth whitening solutions are designed to address extrinsic teeth staining, which is caused by factors such as dark coloured foods and beverages, tobacco, tartar build up, and age. In most cases over the counter kits are largely ineffective because they only bleach the outer surface of the teeth and do not address stains that reached deep inside the teeth. Additionally, they often use harsh chemicals, which can cause pain and sensitivity inside the mouth.
Professional teeth whitening, on the other hand, uses a dentist-prescribed whitening gel and custom-fitted trays. The gels often consist of a high level of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide which allows them to more effectively lift stains and lighten the enamel. The custom-fitted trays protect the gums and allow the gel to stay on the teeth for longer in order to achieve optimal results.
In order to obtain professional at-home whitening kits, you’ll need to schedule a consultation at our office. During your visit, we will take impressions and send them off to a lab for custom fabrication of your trays. From there, you will follow these steps during treatment.
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that brightens teeth using stronger whitening agents than over-the-counter products. It can effectively remove stains from food, drinks, smoking, and aging. The treatment is typically performed in-office for immediate results or through custom at-home kits, ensuring safety and reducing the risk of tooth sensitivity. At Harvest Hills Dental Care, we offer take-home professional trays and gels that allow you to whiten your teeth conveniently from the privacy and comfort of your home.
Our at-home whitening solution includes personalized trays designed to fit your teeth comfortably, paired with high-quality whitening gel. Simply apply the gel inside the trays, wear them as directed by our dental team, and watch your smile transform over time!
Yes, absolutely! Over-the-counter products often lack the strength and efficiency of professional whitening solutions. Our take-home kits from Harvest Hills Dental Care use safe, high-quality ingredients for more noticeable and lasting results.
When done properly under professional guidance, teeth whitening is completely safe for your enamel. Our team ensures that the process is gentle and effective, giving you peace of mind while helping you achieve a brighter smile.
With our take-home professional whitening trays and gels, you can see noticeable improvements in as little as a few days. However, optimal results often develop over a couple of weeks with consistent use and can be maintained with regular touch-up treatments.
Some of our patients might experience mild sensitivity during whitening, but this is usually temporary. At Harvest Hills Dental Care, we can recommend strategies to minimize sensitivity, like adjusting wear times or using desensitizing gels. We have found that take-home kits cause significantly less sensitivity than power bleaching, which can lead to extreme sensitivity for many patients.
The longevity of your whitening results largely depends on your habits. Avoiding staining foods and drinks like coffee or red wine and maintaining a regular oral hygiene routine can keep your smile bright for months. You can use your trays for touch-ups to maintain your glow when needed!
